Greenpeace wants to change the world without taking power
In that matter, the organisation works on global issues (climate, energy, biodiversity) that can directly or indirectly affect each person on Earth.
Greenpeace urges governments, industrialists and international organisations to act for the planet.
Greenpeace is guided by fundamental values
-
Non-violence
from its very first action to the present, Greenpeace has always been guided by the will to inform people and stand in the way through non-violent direct action. Because deep down we know that people can peacefully stop harm to the environment, even when these actions are conducted by the most powerful interests.
-
Political independence
Greenpeace is an organisation independent from states and political and economic powers. Greenpeace is not supported by any political party and does not support any.
-
Financial independence
Greenpeace refuses financial contributions from companies and any kind of public money. The organisation is entirely funded by citizens. This structural independence guarantees our freedom of speech and action, anytime, anywhere.
